Europe's Armageddon.
The last war. London, Paris
and Merlin mere flaming
rains. Holland drowned by
the catting of her dikes.
Clouds full of battling aero
planes. Europe a vast
shambles. And then the
wiping out of all frontiers
and dynasties, the end of all
crowns and thrones, and a
world-one nation forever.
You will shudder and be
thrilled and marvel at the
accuracy of the author's vi
sion.
PRELUDE
In opening "The World Set Free, a
Story of Mankind," the author, H. G.
Weils, the novelist of the brilliant sci
Vitific imaginings, after describing the
'progress of man from savagery to the
pseudo-civilization of the nineteenth
century and early twentieth century,
tells how the discovery of the release
of atomic energy by Holsten in 1933
revolutionized the world's life. It led
to the invention of machines for the
utilization of the energy of atoms, that
force inherent in the indivisible parti
cles of matter which keeps them in
constant motion at inconceivable
speed.
Radio-activity played its expected
important role. "It was in 1953 that the
first Holsten-Roberts engine brought
induced radio-activity into the sphere
of industrial production." The pioneer
step was taken when Holsten, the fa
mous chemist of the twentieth century,
"set up atomic disintegration in a mi
nute particle of bismuth and it exploded
with great violence into a heavy gas of
extreme radio-activity."
The discovery sent to the scrap heap
all of the world's pre-existent methods
of generating power. It entered into
all of the social and economic relation
ships of life, bringing uncountable
wealth to some and reducing others
through the destruction of certain
forms of investment and property, such
as coal mines and oil wells, to poverty.
Especially was the new method of us
ing energy applicable to the aeroplane.
The epoch of "The Leap Into the Air"
came with the discovery of the possi
bility of combining enormous power
with relatively light weight in the
atomic engine.
"But," says the author, "the world
was so little governed that with the
very coming of plenty, in the full tide
of an incalculable abundance, when
'^. everything necessary to satisfy human
'eds and everything necessary to
realize such will and purpose as exist
ed then in human hearts was already
at hand, one has still to tell of hard
ship, famine, anger, confusion, conflict
and incoherent suffering."
But there were thoughts of "bolder
rearrangements of social interaction."
CHAPTE I.
The New Source of Energy.
FREDERICK BARNET'S "Wan
der ahre" is one of those au
tobiographical novels that were
popular throughout the third
ind fourth decades of the twentieth
century. It was published in 1970, and
one must understand "Wander Jahre"
rather in a spiritual and intellectual
than in a literal sense. It is, indeed,
an allusive title, carrying the world
back to the "Wilhelm Meister" of
Goethe, a century and a half earlier.
»o.Its author, Frederick Barnet, gives a
minute and curious history of his life
and ideas between his nineteenth and
his twenty-third birthdays. He was
neither a very original nor a very bril
liant man, but he had a trick of cir
cumstantial writing, and though no au
thentic portrait was to survive for the
Information of posterity be betrays by
a score of casual phrases that he was
short, sturdy, inclined to be plump,
with a "rather blobby" face, and full,
rather projecting blue eyes. He be
longed until the financial debacle of
1956 to the class of fairly prosperous
people, he was a student In London,
he aeroplaned to Italy and then bad a
pedestrian tour from Genoa to Rome,
crossed In the air to Greece and Egypt
and came back over the Balkans and
Germany. His family fortunes, which
were largely Invested In bank shares,
coal mines and house property, were
destroyed. Reduced to penury he
sought to earn a living. He suffered
great hardship, and was then caught
up by the war and had a year of sol
diering, first as an officer in the Eng
lish Infantry and then in the army of
pacification. His book tells all these
things so simply and at the same time
so explicitly that It remains, as it were,
an eye by which future generations
may have at least one man's vision of
the years of the great change.
And he was, he tells us, a "modernservice,
state" man, "by Instinct," from the be
ginning. He breathed in these ideas
in the classrooms and laboratories of
the Carnegie Foundation school that
rose, a long and delicately beautiful
facade along (tie south bank of the

Thames opposite the ancient dignity
of Somerset house. Such thought was
Interwoven with the very fabric of
that pioneer school in the educational
renascence in England. After the
customary exchange years in Heidel
berg and Paris, he went into the classi
cal school of London university. The
older so called "classical" education of
the British pedagogues, probably the
most paralyzing, ineffective and foolish
routine that ever wasted human life,
had already been swept out of this
great institution in favor of modern
methods, and he learned Greek and
Latin as well as he bad learned German,
Spanish and French, so that he wrote
and spoke them freely and used them
with an unconscious ease In his study
of the foundation civilizations of the
European system to which they were
the key. (This change was still so
recent that be mentions an encounter
In Rome with an "Oxford don" who
"spoke Latin with a Wiltshire accent
and manifest discomfort, wrote Greek
letters with his tongue out, and seemed
to think a Greek sentence a charm
when it was a quotation and an im
propriety when it wasn't")
Barnet saw the last days of the coal
steam engines upon the English rail
ways and the gradual cleansing of the
London atmosphere as the smoke cre
ating sea coal fires gave place to elec
tric heating. The building of labora
tories at Kensington was still in prog
ress, and be took part in the students'
riots that delayed the removal of the
Albert memorial. He carried a banner
with "We Like Funny Statuary" on
one side and on the other "Seats and
Canopies For Statues. Why Should
Our Great Departed Stand In the
Rain?" He learned the rather athletic
aviation of those days at the univer
sity grounds at Sydenham, and he was
fined for flying over the new prison for
political libelers at Wormwood Scrubs
"In a manner calculated to exhilarate
the prisoners while at exercise." That
was the time of the attempted sup
pression of any criticism of the public
judicature, and the place was crowded
with journalists who had ventured to
call attention to the dementia of Chief
Justice Abrahams. Barnet was not a
very good aviator. He confesses he
was always a little afraid of his ma
chine—there was excellent reason for
every one to be afraid of those clumsy
early types—and he never attempted
steep descents or very high flying. He
also, he records, owned one of those
oil driven motor bicycles whose clum
sy complexity and extravagant fllthi
ness still astonish the visitors to the
museum of machinery at South Ken
sington. He mentions running over a
dog and complains of the ruinous
price of "spatchcocks" in Surrey.
"Spatchcocks," it seems, was a slang
term for crushed hens.
He passed the examinations neces
sary to reduce his military service to
a minimum, and his want of any spe
cial scientific or technical qualification
and a certain precocious corpulence
that handicapped his aviation indicated
the infantry of the line as his sphere
of training. That was the most gen
eralized form of soldiering. The de
velopment of the theory of war had
been for some decades but little assist
ed by any practical experience. What
fighting bad occurred in recent years
had been fighting In minor or uncivi
lized states with peasant or barbaric
soldiers and with but a small equip
ment of modern contrivances, and the
great powers of the world were con
tent for the most part to maintain
armies that sustained In their broader
organization the traditions of the Eu
ropean wars of thirty or forty years
before. There was the infantry arm to
which Barnet belonged and which was
supposed to fight on foot with the rifle
and be the main portion of the army.
There were cavalry forces (horse sol
diers), having a ratio to the infantry
that had been determined by the ex
periences of the Franco-German war in
1871. There was also artillery, and
for some unexplained reason much of
this was still drawn by horses, though
there were also in all the European
armies a small number of motor guns
with wheels so constructed that they
could go over broken ground. In ad
dition there were large developments
of the engineering arm, concerned with
motor transport, motor bicycles scout
lng, aviation and the like.
No first class intelligence bad been
sought to specialize In and work out
the problems of warfare with the new
appliances and under modern condi
tions, but a succession of able jurists
Lord Haldane, Chief Justice Brtggs
and that very able King's Counsel
Philbrlck—had reconstructed the army
frequently and thoroughly and placed
it at last, with the adoption of national
upon a footing that would
have seemed very imposing to the pub
lie of 1900. At any moment the
British empire could now put 1,250,
000 arguable soldiers upon the board
of welt-politik. The traditions of

the Chinese still refused reso
to become a military power and
maintained a small standing army
upon tbe American model that was
said so far as it went to be highly effl
cient, and Russia, secured by a strin
gent administration against Internal
criticism, had scarcely altered the de
sign of a uniform or the organization
of a battery since the opening decades
of the century. Barnet's opinion of his
military training was manifestly a
poor one. His modern state ideas dis
posed him to regard it as a bore, and
his common sense condemned it as use
less. Moreover, his habit of body
made him peculiarly sensitive to the
fatigues and hardships of service.
"For three days in succession we
turned out before dawn—end for no
earthly reason—without breakfast," he
relates. "I suppose that is to show us
that when the day comes the first thing
will be to get us thoroughly uncom
fortable and rotten. We then proceed
ed to Krlegspiol according te the mys
terious ideas of those In authority ov«r
us. On the last day we spent three
hours under a hot, if early, sun getting
over eight miles of country to a point
we could have reached hi a motor om
nibus in nine minutes and a half—I did
it the next day In that—and then we
made a massed attack upon entrench
ments that could have shot us all about
three times over if only the umpires
had let them. Then came a little bay
onet exercise, but I doubt if I am suf
ficlently a barbarian to stick this long
knife into anything living. Anyhow, in
this battle I shouldn't have a chance.
Assuming that by some miracle I
hadn't been shot three times over I
wag far too hot and blown when I got
up to the entrenchments even to lift
my beastly rifle. It was those others
would have begun the sticking.
"For a time we were watched by two
hostile aeroplanes then our own came
up and asked them not to and—the
practice of aerial warfare still being
unknown—they very politely desisted
and went away and did dives and cir
cles of the most charming description
over the Fox hills."
All Barnet's accounts of his military
training were written in the same half
contemptuous, half protesting tone. He
was of opinion that his chances of
participating in any real warfare were
very slight and that, if after all he
should participate, It was bound to be
so entirely different from these peace
maneuvers that his only course as a
rational man would be to keep as ob
servantly out of danger as he could
until be bad learned the tricks and pos
sibilities of the new conditions. He
states this quite frankly. Never was
a man more free from sham heroics.
Barnet welcomed the appearance of
the atomic engine with the zest of
masculine youth in all fresh machinery,
and it Is evident that for some time
he failed to connect the rush of won
derful new possibilities with the finan
cial troubles of his family. "I knew
my father was worried," he admits.
That cast the smallest of shadows
upon his delighted departure for Italy
and Greece and Egypt with three con
genial companions in one of the new
atomic models. They flew over the
Channel Isles and Touraine, he men
tions, and circled about Mont Blanc—
"These new helicopters, we found," he
notes, "had abolished all the danger
and strain of sudden drops to which
the old time aeroplanes were liable,"—
and then he went on by way of Pisa,
Paestum, Ghirgentl and Athens to visit
the pyramids by moonlight, flying
thither from Cairo, and to follow the
Nile up to Khartum. Even by later
standards it must have been a very
gleeful holiday for a young man, and
it made the tragedy of his next experi
ences all the darker. A week after
his return, his father, who was a
widower, announced himself ruined,
and committed suicide by means of an
unscheduled opiate.
At one blow Barnet found himself
flung out of the possessing, spending,
enjoying class to which he belonged,
penniless and with no calling by which
be could earn a living. He tried teach
ing and some journalism, but in a little
while he found himself on the under*
side of a world in which he had always
reckoned to live In the sunshine. For
innumerable men such an experience
has meant mental and spiritual de
struction, but Barnet in spite of his
bodily gravitation toward comfort
showed himself when put to the test of
the more valiant modern quality. He
was saturated with the creative stoi
cism of the heroic times that were al
ready dawning, and he took his diffi
culties and discomforts stoutly as his
appointed material and turned them to
expression.
Indeed, in his book be thanks fortune
for them. "I might have lived and
died." he says, "in that neat fool's par
adise of secure lavishness above there.
I might never have realized the gather
tag wrath and sorrow of the ousted
and exasperated masses. In tbe days

ed to me to be very well arranged."
Now from bis new point of view he
was to find they were not arranged at
all, that government was a compro
mise of aggressions and powers and
lassitudes and law a convention be
tween interests and that the poor and
the weak, though they had many negli
gent masters, had few friends.
"I had thought things were looked
after," he wrote. "It was with a kind
of amazement that I tramped the roads
and starved—and found that no one In
particular cared."
Inspector because she was sometimes
too poor to pay the customary tip to

stairs, and then I went forth into the
world—to seek first the luck of a meal
and then shelter."

Beauty of Life on the Farm.
By Ray Rlsner.
Life on the farm Is considered
E
O 8 on
happier\ than the farmer after^having ^i n^Z
garnered his grain and filled his mow
with sweet-scented hay. His cellar
filled with fruits from the orchard
and the garden. He is now enjoying
the products of the rich acres that
were made fertile by wise husbandry.
Although he has stored the food and
provisions for his family and his ani
mals, the hens still continue to lay
fresh eggs and the cows yield a good
ly quantity of milk for the household.
What he consumes on his table is
the pure and unadulterated product
fresh from nature.
The following are necessary to
make farm life a success:
(1) Good Roads—The construction
of roads Is a matter of public concern
and varies according to the state of
civilization and the resources of the
country through which they pass.
What are to be considered In mak
ing good roads through a country? In
making good roads It is necessary to
take Into account such natural ob
structions as streams,, swamps, and
hills, these requiring either bridges,
embankments, grades or tunnels. The
breadth of the right of way should be
about 68 feet, and the width of the
grade depends upon locality and traf
fic, although it should be sufficiently
wide for the passage of teams in all
places. The invention of the bicycle
and automobile has made the neces
sity of good roads even more appar
ent than formerly. I think It wouid
be a good plan if the farmers would
form an association to promote the
making of good roads in each locality
and have an Instructor to teach them
the new methods in the art of making
culverts, grades, bridges, and other
improvements that enter Into the
construction of good roads. We
would have better roads- and easier
access to our towns and railroads.
(2) Good Telephones—The systems
of telephones now In use enable peo
ple in cities and many In rural dis
tricts to communicate with each oth
er, thus greatly facilitating rapidity
and convenience in social and busi
ness communication.
(3) Interurban Railways are a great
help in making farm life more pro
gressive, increases the sale of land
and gives the farmer a better chance
to sell his farm products. The U. S.
has a larger railroad mileage than
any other country in the world. It
has witnessed a marvelous extension
of railroad mileage since 1830, not a
single year having passed without ma
terial additions being made to the
value and utility of these necessary
highways of modern commerce.
(4) Landscape Gardening—This is
the art of making the country home
so that it will have a pleasing effect.
The arranging of the ground, drives,
walks, sowing grass, planting troes
and flowers in such a way that the
whole will form a harmonious combi
nation and lend beauty in making the
home the way It should be so that it
will give beauty to life on the farm.
At present many private yards, lawns
and parks as well as public grounds in
cities and those surrounding public
buildings are laid out with great care.
Trees are planted with the view.of
giving the most pleasing effects, view
ed either at close range or from a dis
tance, and various water courses,
fountains and artificial lakes are in
troduced.
My Love for the Farm.
When the burden of life I am eallod
to lay down,
I hope I may die in an old farm home,
I never could ask a more glorious
crown,
Than a grove in the flower laden
country.

I do not care the world to roam,
Oh! Give to me a kind help-mate.

To bless that old farm home,
To share all trouble and all joy.
This will come perhaps unmeasured
